  Hard data for this report was extracted from PacFIN database on 27-FEB-2001.

  OY = Optimum Yield     
  The OYs are commercial (LE and OA) guidelines only, the anticipated
  recreational catches are not included here.  
  
  The OY for Pacific Whiting is the total U.S. coastwide shoreside allocation.
  
  * The nontrawl (NTW) sablefish catch displayed on the Total Fleet report
  includes catches for both the limited entry and open access fisheries. The 
  nontrawl limited-entry sablefish harvest guideline is 2282 metric tons and
  the open-access sablefish harvest guideline is 535 metric tons. Starting in
  1995 this non-trawl sablefish catch statistic no longer includes treaty
  Indian catch.
